Wither the Television?
Wither the Television?
02/01/2005 09:08 PMAm I the only one whose television and DVD player is getting
neglected these days? Lately, I've taken to watching both TV shows
and DVD movies exclusively on my computer.
I don't have a really great set-up either. My monitor is a Gateway
VX900T — a 19-inch Trinitron that I bought (used) five years
ago. I also have an old Altec Lansing speaker system with a subwoofer
that's so old I have to Scotch tape the input jack into the
speaker.
What I do have going for me is a couch in my office on which I can
sit about five feet from the monitor. This set-up and proximity is
almost perfect for watching TV and movies on the computer.
I just watched "Sky Captain
and The World of Tomorrow" on DVD (great, great movie, by the
way). That film was shot in digital, high defintion, and the
resolution on my monitor was absolutely astonishing. The scene
where Dex is escaping from the island and the Ark is launching in the
background was so detailed it left me slack-jawed.
Television is just as good. I don't have a TV capture card, but
that doesn't matter because I tend to just watch certain shows
faithfully which I download. I've spoken he
re before about my tendency to watch North Shore (more on this on my personal site), and
I get spoiled because the torrents I download are all ripped from
hi-def sources. Hi-def on computer monitors is amazing, and it leaves
me disappointed when I have to actually watch the show on TV during
its time slot.
Consequently to all of this, my television gets less and less use
these days. Now, all I need is a remote control.

Work-Life Balance Tilting Too Much
Towards Work
11/14/2003 02:51 PMOne of the downsides to the fact that people
can
work whenever they want is that it's sometimes hard for people to
stop working. According to a study done in Europe, many overly
stressed out workers are
asking their bosses to
cut their hours and salary just to gain back some control over
their lives. Meanwhile, many bosses in IT are increasingly worried
that their staff is going to burn out. Of course, a lot of that could
be solved if companies hired more people, but they still seem hesitant
to do so.

What women want from the Net (?!)
What women want from the Net (?!)
05/06/2004 03:07 AMYahoo threw a conference called "Real Women, Digital World" as a kind
fo hyper-focus-group, in which a bunch of women were called in to
explain What Women Want From The Internet. This on-site account is
pretty funny.
Rachel, who gives her age as "almost 23," is a recent transplant
to San Francisco from Chicago. She is dressed in jeans, sneakers,
a T-shirt, a zip-up hoodie and a belt decorated with pink
flamingos and palm trees. She gamely tries to explain to the
suits clustered around her exactly what it is that she does on
the Internet.
The short answer: Um, everything.
A habitué of Craigslist, Rachel says she has used the Net
to find a roommate, find her apartment in Hayes Valley, and find
her part-time job. If she gets lost and doesn't have Net access,
she'll call a friend who does and ask her to go to MapQuest and
get directions. She pays all her bills online and reads the news
on S.F. Gate and N.Y. Times.com, two sites she doesn't even
bother to refer to by the names of the newspapers they represent.
She's selling a car online right now.

01/07/2004 01:58 PM Rumors of rape fan
anti-American flames "They are raping our
women!" - This is the eternal tribalistic
cry and
lament,
often all<
/a> too true
but also often used as a baseless or exaggerated claim for war
propaganda, to incite to hatred of a "barbaric" enemy who
commits unspeakable acts ( see The
"Rape of
Kuwait"). The history of
Rape in Warfare is
long and may
be
instinctually driven, at
least in part.
Now, mass
rumors
spreading through Turkey - which seem to have inspired a recent
indigenous Turkish terrorist car bombing - allege mass rapes of Iraqi
women by American troops.
"There are more than 4000 rape
events on the record" claimed the Turkish journal
Yeni
Safak, on October 22, "citing" (though the purported
supporting citation contains nothing about such atrocities) internet
sex therapist Dr. Susan Block's piece on the
metaphorical "
;Rape of Iraq"[ Warning : preceding link is
NSFW !
Here's
the
work-safe CounterPunch version]. Having more or less invented
modern
PR and
propaganda techniques (see
Ed. Bernays,
Ivy Lee) - handy
during both
war and
peace - Americans are now on the receiving end of Propaganda's use
of

Where Are The Women VCs?
Where Are The Women VCs?
04/12/2004 03:44 AMThis won't come to a surprise to most people who have dealt with
venture capitalists on a regular basis, but
there are very few women VCs, and the numbers are actually
decreasing. Since raising venture money is often about your
personal network, some are suggesting that this is one of the reasons
why women are having a tougher time getting their own businesses
started - they don't have as many connections within the "old boys
network" of venture money. This is definitely unfortunate (though, I
will say that some of the smartest VCs I do know are women). Still,
you would think that this would represent an opportunity for some
enterprising VCs. If qualified, women-run companies aren't getting
funded, then a smart VC firm (whether or not it had women partners)
should try to search them out, as they may be more likely to find a
worthwhile startup that other VCs will miss.

08/30/2004 07:23 PMIn an answer to feminist protests going on in New York this week, a
group of 900 Republican women gathered on Monday at the Waldorf
Astoria to hear about why women should rally behind George W. Bush.
The "W Stands for Women" event featured an all-star line-up of
Bush-Cheney chicas: the Bush twins, Jenna and Barbara, who sat
silently on stage; the president’s sister, Doro Bush Koch, and mother,
76-year-old former first lady Barbara Bush; and Dick Cheney’s wife
Lynne and daughter Liz. Their approach -- seducing desirable female
voters with images of the President and Vice President as
good-hearted, hen-pecked husbands and fathers whipped into shrugging
submission by their estrogen-heavy clans -- was the kind of thing that
might make Gloria Steinem gag. But it worked with this undeniably
large gathering of women, who were rowdily relishing their electoral
heft.

Look At That: There Are Women Online Too
Look At That: There Are Women Online Too
04/29/2004 02:42 PMNot quite sure that this is really all that surprising, but Yahoo! has
put together a study (mainly targeted at their advertisers) pointing
out that
women
actually use the internet too. In fact, it's the "leading media
of choice" among women, and overall comes only after work, sleep, and
spending time with family as being the most important time spent. The
study notes that women use the internet at work, and are good at
multitasking - having work-related and non-work-related sites open at
the same time and flipping back and forth between the two. They found
that women believe surfing non-work sites at work is fine, since they
tend to do more work outside of the office as well - and they're also
spending more time at the office. The folks at Yahoo! seem positively
shocked that women (gasp!) actually use
search as well.
"The other thing that I think that was a revelation [for us] and that
has been a common consensus is that women are task-oriented, but this
research shows that they do use the Internet for searching and
browsing--it's not just for destination-related activities." And to
think, before this, Yahoo! apparently thought that only men used
search. Maybe all the women have been over at Google...

Women Want Wireless
12/02/2003 12:18 PMWondering whether to go with chocolate or flowers for the special
woman in your life? You might be better off going with a nice 3G
mobile phone network. A new study by the folks at Siemens (who
certainly are a bit on the biased side, since they want to sell more
3G equipment) says that
women are big
fans of what UMTS 3G wireless technology can do for them.
However, they point out, the women are more interested in how the
technology is useful, rather than what it is. This, of course, seems
pretty obvious, and is exactly what we were talking about back in
October when we wondered why anyone would bother doing a study looking
at whether or not people
knew what
UMTS is. That doesn't matter. What UMTS is useful for is what
matters - and apparently, the European women Siemens studied agree
with us. Of course, it's no surprise to those of us at Techdirt that
women like useful gadgets. For years, we've been pointing to
study
a> after study
saying that "chicks dig gadgets." On the wireless front, earlier
this year there was a study saying that
women
felt text messages showed how much the sender cared more than
things like flowers and chocolate (though, that study seemed a bit
questionable). Still, it's a bit more evidence that the stereotype of
guys and their gadgets may be a bit outdated.

09/01/2004 08:36 PMPortugal has a long tradition of protecting the human life. It was the
first European country to abolish the death penalty, and more than 50%
of voters rejected a 1998 referendum that would have liberalized
abortion laws [en] (abortion is legal in Portugal if the pregnancy
resulted from a rape, if it endangers the mother's life, or if the
fetus is severely malformed; the morning-after pill is also legal).
Now a Dutch boat from an organization called Women on Waves intends to
pick women in Portugal, bring them to international waters (where the
law of the boat's country applies: the Netherlands allows abortions
for six weeks after conception, if not performed within 25 km from an
Amsterdam hospital), perform abortions, and return them to land. The
Portuguese government has refused entry to Women on Waves' ship, the
Borndiep (previously Sea Change).
